    The number of present boys to girls is in the ratio 2:1.

    If 15 girls are absent and they form 25% of the total class, and no boy is absent, then find the number of boys in the class.

    C 30 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 27 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 33 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total number of students = 15/0.25 = 60
    Number of students who are present = 60 – 15 = 45
    Therefore, number of boys in the class = 45 × 2/3 = 30
